Aurelius' Reading List
I just picked up two excellent books and will be devoting a fair amount of my freetime to reading them.
Misquoting Jesus by Bart D. Ehrman, a once 'born again' christian who learned to doubt the inerrancy of scripture via his growing scholarship of the New Testament. This is the book that all of my evag acquaintances will be receiving this next summer solstice. Filled with sharp facts for poking holes in lame ass world-views.
Kevin Phillips (yep the same Kevin Phillips who wrote 'the republican bible' to earn his place in the Nixon administration) latest, American Theocracy : The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century. According to him, real republicans hate George W, and what his ineptitude and fanaticism have done to our country. He's also willing to set aside the usual taboo about criticising another's religion - they have it coming.
Both are proving to be excellent reads. Hopefully I return to the blogosphere like the phoenix, reborn in flame to blaze a trail of truth and a burning plume of searing words strung together with the righteous power of . . .
Yeah,
